Product details
How
Sow direct where they are to grow into shallow furrows. Cover with Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix and water gently.
Care
Grow in fertile soil in a Sunny well-drained position. Apply Yates Thrive Soluble Plant Food regularly and keep seedlings well watered. Make successive sowings every few weeks. Shoots are crisp early in the season and more pungent later. Easy to grow in containers. Protect from snails and slugs.
Hint
Avoid overwatering - seeds may rot before germination if soil is too wet.
Storage
Store in a cool dry place away from direct Sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
